Kathy, Austin Matthew 9:28 Jesus said to them, “ Do you believe that I can do this?”
Thank you for this opportunity! This is like a “ shot of faith and hope” I inject into my mind and soul each two weeks.

“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
has set us free from the law of sin and of death.”
Romans 8:1-2

Thank You Lord Jesus for giving me the SSMT group to learn and use Your Word. What a blessing!

O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Psalm 34:8 NASV

I’ve tried memorizing scripture before but have never stuck with it. This year I have been more determined to stay true to it and I am so blessed to realize it can be done! And I did it! This has been a difficult year for me as I have been caring for my elderly father and on Dec, 1 he passed away into glory. So I have found myself leaning into the Lord and His word more and more and He has been my anchor through it all. Thank you Jesus that when we seek you we are comforted, strengthened, lifted up and we are able to obtain that peace that surpasses all understanding! Thank you for giving me this last year with my father and the chance to really get to know him better. It’s all for You Lord. In Jesus name Amen

“Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.”

2 Cor. 10:5 NIV “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

Leisa Hale, Sheridan, Indiana
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wondeful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgement and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV Thank you Beth, and your team, for continuing the Siesta Scripture Memory every other year. It has been a blessing, absolutely loved being a part of this. The first year of memorization is still just as fresh in my mind and heart as the current year. The first few years of Scriptures were chosen by me, this year, The Lord has given me every Scripture and has put me in AWE every time at how the exact Scripture was for such a time as this in my life. His Word never comes back void and is always perfect for where He has me while in this tent of a body! Looking forward to memorizing with you all in 2019!

12/1 verse – “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV

12/15 verse – “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And the government shall be upon His shoulders. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 NIV

Paula from Vancouver WA Colossians 3:25 ESV “For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.” Thanking Jesus for helping me do this! The number of times these verses have come up in my life this year is unbelievable! Can’t wait to see what we memorize next! Thank you!

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished. My victory abiding.] John 16:33 AMP

This year’s verses have sustained me through a dark season. I’m so grateful for this place – for accountability, for encouragement. Thank you!!

Colossians 3:18
Wives be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. (NASB)

It has been a comfort to watch Beth’s videos and to read other ladies’ notes. My husband has received news that they are outsourcing his department to another company to handle the work. The ending date for his job is in 2018 or 2019. The waiting tests us. What to do – he studies for a different job within the company and see if there will be a job or just get a job now when we pick the time! Thank you everyone!

We are facing 2018 with big changes coming in our lives – Gary with a ministry transition (within our local church), and me retiring May 31 after 30 years with our local school system. I know God will be with us every step of the way – Hallelujah He never changes and His Word never returns void.

I love every one of you LPM ladies and your awesome amazing fearless leader Beth!

Keeping away from strife is an honor for a man, but any fool will quarrel. Proverbs 20:3 NAS

Scripture memory has blessed me and strengthened my walk with Jesus- life is hard, but God is good. Having His Word in my heart helps me to grasp that and know that He loves me no matter what the circumstances are around me.

Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.

Exodus 4:12 NKJV

Persevering and enduring regardless of how I’m feeling or the struggle or a wrong attitude and the treasure of the word you shared Exodus 4:12 that I would not have heard if I had given up, thank you Jesus! and God bless you all at Living Proof xoxo

Marilyn from Alton, IA “Fear not, for I Have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters; I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” Isaiah 43: 1-3
This memory work has brought me closer to God. When it was hard to memorize He was there to help. So thankful Living Proof! God bless!

Cara Railey, Springfield, Missouri: “You know when I sit down and when I stand up; You understand my thoughts from far away.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:2‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

I’ve memorized several of God’s promises that pertain to waiting. Speaking these truths, when I start to believe lies, has transformed my thought life. The Lord has encouraged me – filled me with courage – in new ways this year through His Words that I’ve committed to memory.

Anna S from Auburn, AL
“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11New International Version (NIV)

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Corinthians 13:8 NIV
Dawn Lucy Steele AL

I forgot to mention why this time it meant so much for me to accomplish this. I started this in 2015 and dropped out mid way through when my sweet daddy went to be with the Lord. I always regretted not sticking with it through that season. Thank you so much for all you. You are and have been always a blessing to me.

Kristie, Montgomery,TX: “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:25-26 NIV.

I chose to memorize verses this year that would give me hope and strength to live life well in the midst of a divorce being finalized and a transition to being a single mom of a precious 6 year old little boy. Thank you for this SSMT ministry to help keep me in God’s word and to fill me with His promises when so many have been broken. God bless you and your staff and Merry Christmas!

What’s a Siesta?

Isn't "siesta" the Spanish word for nap? Yes! Then why are our LPM blog readers called siestas? One time Beth typed out the word "sistas," referring to our blog readers, and her spell checker wanted her to change it to "siestas." The name stuck! You can read about it here. If you read this blog, consider yourself a siesta! It's just another word for sister.
